God told Ezekiel to write a lamentation for Tyre. If you remember, they rejoiced over the devastation of Jerusalem; we shouldn’t be happy over someone’s ruin. Ezekiel recounted all the attributes of Tyre; because of his description, it was a place that I would have liked to visit, with its wealth, beauty, and desirable merchandise, much like visiting a high-end Walmart with everything you could imagine, only better. God’s recount of Tyre through Ezekiel even made me lament their destruction. I feel like it was a beautiful place we never got to see. Its undoing made me think about what could happen to the United States and all the wonderful things we enjoy if God ever decided to punish us for what the extreme liberals have done by rejecting the sovereignty of God. Our beauty and fortune could disappear like Tyre. I hope He still considers us blessed because we are still free to worship Him and because there are more of us who honor Him than those who dishonor Him. Stand firm, mighty warriors of God, fight against the powers and principalities seeking to destroy our nation, and pray that God would route them in every endeavor to come against us, His beloved Church, the beacon on a hill that shines for all to see. 

These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. Ezekiel 27:24-25
